TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to novel 4,6-O-hydroxyphosphoryl-glucosamine derivatives and pharmaceutically-acceptable salts thereof.

The compounds of the present invention exhibit lipid A-like activity, and are useful as pharmaceutical drugs such as immunopotentiation agents and anti-tumour agents.

BACKGROUND ART

Surface layers of Gram-negative bacteria are composed of a cell membrane, a cell wall peptidoglycan, and an outer membrane. The outer membrane contains lipopolysaccharides (hereinafter abbreviated LPS). LPS is a main ingredient of endotoxin which induces endotoxin shock, and consists of an acidic protein component, a high-molecular weight polysaccharide component, and a phospholipid component.

LPS induces various morbid conditions such as pyrogenesis, bleeding, arthritis, and encephalomyelitis. LPS is also known to exhibit a host protection effect on immune-activating mechanisms such as macrophage-activation, B-cell blastogenesis activity, and cell-mediated immunity-activation, as well as antitumour effects such as IFN(interferon) induction and TNF(tumour necrosis factor) induction.

The main component of LPS which exhibits these activities among said three components is the phospholipid component, which is called lipid A. Lipid A comprises a fatty acid residue and phosphoric acid, both of which are combined with a disaccharide amine, and has the following formula [Japanese Bacteriology Journal 40(1), 57(1985) and Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A. 80, 4624(1983)]: ##STR2##

A recent study has revealed that either the non-reducing subunit or the reducing subunit alone as shown above can exhibit the lipid A-like activity, and various analogues have been synthesized based on this finding. Examples of such analogues are disclosed in European Patent Application Disclosure No. 224260, Japanese Patent Application Disclosure No. 62888/90, and Japanese Patent Application Disclosure No. 25494/90, etc.

As described above, extensive studies have been conducted in order to obtain lipid A analogues, specifically by modifying them with various substituents and by changing introduced substituent sites. However, no lipid A analogue has been developed which is pharmaceutically applicable, mainly because the same substituent exhibits different activities depending on its introduced site, thus making the study of pharmaceutical applications of the lipid A-like analogues difficult. Therefore, lipid A analogues of higher activity and lower toxicity are expected to be developed.

DISCLOSURE OF INVENTION

The object of the present invention is to produce novel compounds which exhibit more effective lipid A-like activity and low toxicity.

The inventors of the present invention have been energetically studied lipid A derivatives in order to attain said object. As a result, the inventors have discovered novel compounds which exhibit strong lipid A-like activity such as mitogenic activity of varying strength depending on the analogue, TNF-inducing activity, and IFN-inducing activity, and which nevertheless exhibit low toxicity, and have completed the present invention based on these findings.

Novel 4,6-O-hydroxyphosphoryl-glucosamine compounds according to the present invention have the following general formula (I): ##STR3## wherein R₁ and R₂ represent a hydrogen atom or a hydroxy group; one of R₃ and R₄ is --OCO(CH₂)_(n) CH₃, --CH₂ (CH₂)_(n) CH₃, or --O--CH₂ (CH₂)_(n) CH₃, and the other is a hydrogen atom; l is an integer of 4-16; m is an integer of 4-16; and n is an integer of 6-18.

This invention also relates not only to said compounds but also to their pharmaceutically-acceptable salts. Examples of these salts are inorganic alkali metal salts, alkali-earth metal salts, and organic amine salts. Specifically, salts of the compounds with sodium, potassium, lithium, calcium, triethanolamine, diethanolamine, monoethanolamine, triethylamine, etc. are exemplified.

4,6-O-hydroxyphosphoryl-glucosamine derivatives (I) according to the present invention have two structural characteristics as follows. First, the pyranose ring is acylated at the 3-position with α- or β-alkylated fatty acids, α- or β-alkoxylated fatty acids, or α- or β-acyloxylated fatty acids. Second, hydroxyphosphoryl groups [>P(0)OH] are introduced to the 4- and 6-positions of the pyranose ring. The present compounds [I] are expected to be useful by virtue of these characteristics as pharmaceutical drugs such as immune-activating agents. The present invention also includes all stereoisomers of the compounds (I) and a mixture thereof.

These compounds (I) can be produced according to the following reaction steps: ##STR4##

A description of said flow 1 in detail is as follows:

The First Step

Known compound [1] derived from D-glucosamine (see Japanese Patent Disclosure No. 197582/86) is amidated to form an amide compound [2]. This procedure is performed by reacting compound [1] with a fatty acid compound whose hydroxyl group at the 3-position is protected with a 2-(trimethylsilyl)ethoxymethyl group (--SEM group) or with a straight-chain fatty acid compound having no hydroxy group, in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane, in the presence of a condensation agent such as dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC) and 1-ethyl-3(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-carbodiimide hydrochloride (WSC·HCl).

The Second Step

Compound [2] obtained in the first step is reacted with an acylating agent, thereby acylating the hydroxyl group at the 3-position of the ring in order to obtain compound [3]. Examples of the acylating compound are an α- or β-alkyl fatty acid, an α- or β-acyloxy fatty acid or an α- or β-alkoxy fatty acid (R₅ OH). This step is performed in a solvent such as dichloromethane in the presence of a catalytic amount of dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP), and a condensation agent such as DCC and WSC·HCl.

The Third Step

Compound [3] obtained in the second step is hydrolyzed with an acid such as acetic acid in order to eliminate the protection groups at the 4- and 6-positions, yielding compound [4].

The Fourth Step

Compound [4] is made to react with phenyl dichlorophosphate in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane in the presence of a base such as pyridine and DMAP in order to obtain compound [5].

The Fifth Step

This step is performed in order to eliminate protection groups at the hydroxy groups when R₁ ' and/or R₂ ' are protected hydroxy groups. Therefore, when both R₁ ' and R₂ ' are hydrogen atoms, this step is not required. When both R₁ ' and R₂ ' are protected hydroxy groups, both protection groups may be simultaneously eliminated, or they may be separately eliminated in a stepwise manner.

The elimination step can be performed in various known manners. For example, when the R₁ ' and/or R₂ ' of the compound [5] are --OSE, compound [5] is dissolved in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane, and an acid such as boron trifluoride etherate (BF₃ ·OEt₂) or a fluoride ion generating agent such as tetrabutylammonium fluoride is added to the solution in order to easily eliminate the protection groups.

It is noted that the protection groups in the R₁ ' and/or R₂ ' positions are not restricted to --OSE described above, but they may be, for example, benzyl groups (--Bn group). When they are benzyl groups, they are easily eliminated through catalytic hydrogenation in the presence of a catalyst such as platinum and palladium.

The Sixth Step

Compound [6] is hydrogenated over platinum dioxide (PtO₂), etc. in a solvent such as ethanol, methanol, and acetic acid to yield the objective compound (I).

This objective compound (I) can be also prepared according to the following reaction scheme from a lipid A analogue obtained in a known manner. ##STR5##

This flow 2 comprises the following seventh step.

The Seventh Step

Compound [7] (for example, see Japanese Patent Disclosure No. 62888/90) is made to react with a condensation agent such as DCC and WSC·HCl in a solvent such as tetrahydrofuran(THF), dichloromethane, and chloroform. By this reaction, compound [7] is cyclized by intramolecular condensation to yield the objective compound (I).

Among α- or βalkylated fatty acids, α- or β-acyloxylated fatty acids, and α- or β-alkoxylated fatty acids, some are known, and others are easily prepared from known compounds. Examples of methods for producing these substituents are as follows:

Method for Producing α-alkylated fatty acid ##STR6## wherein X represents a halogen atom.

This reaction is performed in aprotic solvents such as tetrahydrofuran (THF) containing hexamethylphosphoric triamide (HMPA), etc. First, a straight chain carboxylic acid having the corresponding number of carbons is added with two equivalents of strong base such as lithium diisopropylamide (LDA) in order to form the dianion of the carboxylic acid. Next, the dianion is reacted with a straight chain alkylhalide having the corresponding number of carbons to obtain the α-alkylated fatty acid.

Method for Producing β-alkylated fatty acid ##STR7##

A straight chain alkyl halide having the corresponding number of carbons is reacted with metal magnesium in an aprotic solvent such as THF in order to form a Grignard reagent. The straight chain aldehyde having the corresponding number of carbons is reacted with the Grignard reagent to yield a secondary alcohol. This alcohol is oxidized with an oxidizing agent such as pyridinium chlorochromate (PCC) and Jones reagent in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane to form a ketone.

Separately, triethyl phosphonoacetate is added with a base such as sodium hydride in order to form a carboanion.

The Wittig reaction of the carboanion and the aforementioned ketone yields an α, β-unsaturated ester.

Next, this ester is subjected to hydrogenation in a solvent such as ethyl acetate in the presence of palladium carbon to form a saturated ester. Finally, this ester is hydrolyzed in a solvent such as aqueous ethanol in the presence of a base such as potassium hydroxide to obtain a β-alkylated fatty acid.

Method for Producing α- or β-acyloxylated fatty acid ##STR8##

A straight chain 2- or 3-hydroxycarboxylic acid having the corresponding number of carbons (for example, a 3-hydroxycarboxylic acid is shown in flow 5) is acylated as follows. First, the hydroxycarboxylic acid is reacted with phenacyl bromide in a solvent such as ethyl acetate in the presence of a base such as triethylamine to form phenacyl ester. The hydroxy group at the 2- or 3-position of the phenacyl ester is acylated by being reacted with an acid chloride having the corresponding number of carbons in the presence of a base such as pyridine, or with a straight chain carboxylic acid having the corresponding number of carbons in the presence of a condensation agent such as DCC and WSC·HCl in an inert solvent such as dichloromethane. Next, the acylated phenacyl ester is treated with zinc powder and acetic acid in order to eliminate the phenacyl group. As a result, α- or β-acyloxylated fatty acids are obtained.

Method for Producing α- or β-alkoxylated fatty acid ##STR9## wherein A1 indicates an alkyl group such as a methyl group or an ethyl group, Tr indicates a protection group such as a trityl group for a hydroxyl group, and Ms indicates a mesyl group or a tosyl group, etc.

a 2- or 3-hydroxycaroboxylic acid having the corresponding number of carbons (for example, a 2-hydroxycarboxylic acid is shown in flow 6) is esterified with methyl iodide, ethyl iodide or the like in an aprotic solvent such as benzene in the presence of a base such as 1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4,0]7-undecene (DBU). The obtained ester is reduced with a reducing agent such as lithium aluminium hydride in a solvent such as THF to yield a diol. Next, of the --OH groups in the obtained diol, only the primary OH group is selectively protected with a protection group such as a trityl group. The protected alcohol is reacted with a straight chain alcohol which has the corresponding number of carbons and which is mesylated or tosylated, in an aprotic solvent such as THF, in the presence of a base such as potassium hydride or sodium hydride and a phase transfer catalyst such as tetra-n-butylammonium iodide, to introduce an alkoxy substituent. Next, the protection group (trityl group) at the primary hydroxy group is eliminated by using an acid such as p-toluenesulfonic acid. Finally, the obtained alcohol is oxidized with an oxidizing agent such as Jones reagent and PCC in order to obtain a β-alkoxy substituted fatty acid.

O₂ ⁻ - production stimulating activity in neutrophils was evaluated utilizing the following experimental system [see J. Exp. Med., 160, 1656-1671. (1984)]. To the peritoneal cavity of C3H/HeN mice (male, 8-9 weeks old), physiological saline containing 0.2% (w/v) casein was administered. Three hours later, peritoneal exudate cells (90% or more of which are neutrophils) were collected. These cells (1.7×10⁶ cells/ml/tube) were incubated in the presence of the compound (10 μg/ml) according to the present invention at 37° C. for 60 minutes. After addition of 80 μM of cytochrome C and 0.1 μM of formyl-methionyl-leucylphenylalanine (FMLP), the mixture was incubated in the presence of or in the absence of superoxide dismutase (SOD) at 37° C. for 10 minutes. Then, SOD-inhibitable cytochrome C reduction was estimated from the difference between the absorbances at 550 nm and 541.7 nm, and from the molar absorption coefficient (16.5×10³). O₂ ⁻ production-stimulating activity in terms of Stimulation % was calculated according to the following formula: ##EQU1##

EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLE 2 (TNF-PRODUCING ACTIVITY)

TNF-producing activity was evaluated utilizing the following experimental system.

The first stimulating agent, 5% Corynebacterium parvum suspension (0.2 ml physiological saline solution), was intravenously administered to ICR mice (female, 6-7 week-aged). Nine days later, the second stimulating agent, the compound of the present invention, was intravenously administered to the same mice at 10 μg/mice. In 90 minutes, 0.5-1 ml of blood was taken from the retro orbital plexus. The obtained blood was allowed to clot at room temperature for five to six hours, and centrifuged at 7200×g for five minutes to separate the serum. The obtained serum was incubated at 56° C. for 30 minutes for inactivation before use in the following experiment.

TNF activity in the serum was measured via a cytotoxicity assay employing L929 cells. L929 cells were prepared in a concentration of 6×10⁴ cells/well (0.1 ml) RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% FBS (fetal bovine serum) and 2 μg/ml actinomycin D in 96-well plates. Serial dilutions of the obtained serum in RPMI 1640 medium containing 10% FBS were added to each well in the plate (0.1 ml/well). After 48 hours incubation at 37° C., the viable cells were fixed with methanol. These cells were then stained with 0.2% crystal violet, and the dye was extracted with 1% SDS (sodium dodecyl sulphate). Next, the absorbance at 550 nm was measured. Finally, the cytotoxicity ratio (%) was calculated according to the following formula, and the reciprocal of the dilution of the serum showing 50% cytotoxicity was determined for the TNF titer in the serum (U/ml).

EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLE 3 (MITOGEN ACTIVITY)

The mitogen activity of the compounds according to the present invention was evaluated by utilizing the following experimental system [see Eur. J. Immunol., 14, 109-114. (1984)].

The spleens of C3H/HeN mice (males, 6-10-weeks old) were isolated in an aseptic manner. The spleen tissue was loosened in Dulbecco's modified Eagle medium (DMEM) and then subjected to a stainless mesh in order to filter the spleen cells. Next, erythrocytes contained in the collected cells were hemolyzed, and the obtained cells were suspended in RPMI 1640 medium containing 5% FBS for subsequent use.

Evaluation of mitogenic activity of the compounds according to the present invention was conducted by measuring the amount of ³ H-thymidine incorporated into the cells during culturing of the cells which were treated with the compounds according to the present invention. First, the spleen cells were transferred to a 96-well plate at 5×10⁵ cells/well (100 μl). To each well, the compound according to the present invention at a given concentration (100 μl) was added, and the obtained solution in each well was cultured under 5% CO₂ at 37° C. for 48 hours. After that, ³ H-thymidine was added at 1 μCi/well (50 μl), followed by culturing for four hours. The obtained cells were washed with phosphate buffered saline (PBS), and the amount of ³ H-thymidine incorporated into the cells (the amount of radioactivity) was determined using a liquid scintillation counter. The result was shown by calculating the following Stimulation Index: ##EQU2##

EXPERIMENTAL EXAMPLE 4 (COLONY STIMULATING FACTOR-INDUCING ACTIVITY)

By utilizing the following experimental protocol, in vivo colony stimulating factor (CSF) inducing activity of the compounds according to the present invention was evaluated [see Immunology, 21, 427-436. (1971)].

5 μg of the present compounds according to the present invention were administered to the caudal vein of C57BL mice (male, 8-10-weeks old). After six hours, the blood was sampled from the plexus venous orbitalis of said mice. This blood was allowed to stand at 4° C. for two hours for sufficient coagulation, and then centrifuged at 1500×g. The resultant supernatant solution was collected for use as a CSF-containing serum sample.

Separately, from the femora of mice which were the same series as the mice used for sampling the serum, the bone marrow cells were sampled. Specifically, both ends of the femora isolated in an aseptic manner were cut, and an injection needle was inserted into one end to aspirate the bone marrow cells into a culture solution (DMEM). The obtained cell suspension was sufficiently stirred, washed with the culture solution several times, and suspended in the culture solution again.

Next, the cell culture prepared as described was adjusted to a final concentration of 10⁵ cells/ml by utilizing a medium (DMEM) containing 0.3% agar, 25% horse serum, and 50 μM 2-mercaptoethanol. To this solution, 0.1 ml of said serum sample which had been diluted to 1/3 with said DMEM medium was added, and the obtained solution was transferred to a culture plate of 35 mm diameter. Then, the resultant culture solution was cultured under 7% CO₂ at 37° C. for seven days to form colonies.
